Answer
Producer surplus is the benefit or surplus producer receives by selling at a price more than what they are willing to sell. Minimum price at which they are willing to sell is the marginal cost(MC) of producing that quantity.
So, Producer surplus from 1st unit is price - MC of 1st unit = 60 - 12 = 48
Producer surplus from 2nd unit is price - MC of 2nd unit = 60 - 13 = 47
Producer surplus from 3rd unit is price - MC of 3rd unit = 60 - 30 = 30
Producer surplus from 4th unit is price - MC of 4th unit = 60 - 42 = 18
Producer surplus from 5th unit is price - MC of 5th unit = 60 - 55 = 5
Hence Total producer surplus = 48 + 47 + 30 + 18 + 5 = 148
Hence, Total producer surplus = $148.

Connolly Company produces two types of lamps, classic and fancy, with unit contribution margins of $13 and $21, respectively. Each lamp must spend time on a special machine. The firm owns four machines that together provide 18,000 hours of machine time per year. The classic lamp requires 0.20 hours of machine time, the fancy lamp requires 0.50 hours of machine time. What is the contribution margin per hour of machine time for a classic lamp? a.$104 b.$16 c.$13 d.$26 e.$65

Suppose that a price-taker firm has a marginal cost function given by: MC 30+0.5q. The firm could join a cartel in its industry and agree to a quota of 5 units. The collusion drives the price of the good from $35.91 to $70.00. Calculate the producer surplus of this firm when they produce the quota. (Do not enter a "$" sign in your response. Round to the nearest two decimal places if necessary.) Answer: Check
